After three years of being here, I'm finally discovering a decent amount of Nova Scotia. This summer has been so FULL so far!
I've discovered how much i LOVE Sushi. Now, when I get a craving for sushi, it hits me hard, and I have to get it. Contrary to popular believe, sushi is not raw fish. There are types that contain it, yes, but sushi is really about the rice. I always get sushi rolls, because I find them fun to eat. I started out getting Sweet Potato sushi rolls, then some other veggie rolls, then I moved on to fish - cooked ones at that. Tempura is great. It's cooked slightly because they fry the roll So far I've been to
Sushi Nami Royale on Dresden Row,
Fujiyama on Blower's Street,
next to Smoke's Poutine (They have about 50 different types of poutine. Insanity!),
and Wasabi House on Quinpool.
I don't have any food pictures from there but this is what the building looks like from the outside. It's a small place. Not too small, but it's nice and cozy. The service was good, and we even got free crab sushi roll samples: two rolls for the table. So it was a good experience!
So now onto Smoke's Poutine. I decided to try the "Triple Pork" - Or the "Three Piggies" as my friend likes to call it. It's pulled pork, spicy sausage and bacon. My greedy self decided to get the "WOW" size. -______-. That was an epic fail. I didn't finish after three sittings. Never again. Regardless, some of their combinations are a bit off, and sometimes I just want a simple poutine with some pieces of chicken in there but this one has it's work cut out for it. It's a great amount of poutine for the price, I must say. So if you're an adventurous poutine lover, Smoke's is the place to visit.
Also, feel free to try this drink they carry called "Calypso". It's a lemonade type of thing. Tastes great.!
Other places I love in Hali are Quiznos (Try their 2 for 6 deal) and the WokBox (I had their butter chicken one time.. yum).
That's it for me. Now I've gone and made myself hungry. Boo!
So Guys,
When it comes to food,
Never be too scared to try something Neü.

Next on the list: The Economy Shoe Shop. =)
I wish I had a picture of the inside to show you guys what this place looks like. It's gorgeous. It literally makes me feel like I'm in a rainforest at times. Like I'm in Fern Gully haha. They have some poles in here that have been designed to look like trees. And the lighting is so delicate. It's a nice place to calm you down. I love it. I've gone there 4 times, and I always get their Nachos. Enough to feed three, tastes amazing, cheese galore. ! And it's not expensive at all.
